Maybe more interesting is how that weight is distributed
LF wheel 249.4kg RF 233.3kg LR 216.4kg RR 238.1kg split 48.49% front 51.50 % rear Ross |
My FFR is 2,270 with a little less than a quarter tank of gas. I have a 408w motor and single turbo. My last dyno was 924rwhp/ 986rwtq at 18.3 psi. :D

Here is when we scaled mine, I thought it was a tank but it seams to be average.

Those that use scales intended to corner weight a race car can be reasonably sure that they are accurate. The scales were designed to be accurate in the range in which a Cobra's weight falls. Those that use scales intended to weigh loaded trucks weighing many, many tons should not be so reasonably sure. A relatively light weight Cobra is at the extreme end of their measurable range, and accuracy at the extremes is suspect, especially when comparing a few hundred pounds' difference. It would be interesting to gather a cross section of manufacturer's Cobras and weigh them all on the same scale. Anyone know the advertised curb weights of the original Mk 1/2 and Mk 3 Cobras? |

Before you go and weigh your car, weigh your self at home in the same outfit you leave the house. Weigh the car with and w/o you - if the scale says the same she is good. If there are 20 pounds differences - leave and look for a different scale. Today the bathroom scales are pretty accurate. (The same applies to corner scales, where you can put yourself on) |
At Reno-Fernley during WSCB as weighed by WKW Racing my car w/o driver and full tank was LF644-RF713-LR677-RR657 for 2691 total weight. 428FE with top loader, Jag rear w/inboard brakes, scatter shield, fuel cell with skid shield etc. Ready to race with my fat a** included the weight ratio was 48.68% front & 51.32% rear.
Just curious, do any of you with those morbidly obese Cobras ( over 3,000lb) have problems spinning the tires or out accelerating most every other car on the road.:D Dick |
